"Search and Destroy" Iggy and the Stooges

I have a BIG treat of a version that'll be ready to send your way within a
few months performed by one of my favorite artists and greatest muses.
I heard her play it recently "live" and was blown away.

Personally, I've performed it "live" too but never recorded it...
I DO however have mp3s of studio versions of me
performing LOOSE and TV EYE.

Ain't No Sunshine
Bill Withers, Michaael Jackson (RIP), David Cassidy

Oh Yeah! Bill Withers' version is my favorite, but I really like the version done by "Me First and the Gimme Gimmes" too.

Baker Street
Gerry Rafferty, Rick Springfield

Foo Fighters did this one too.



For me it's probably the song "California Dreamin'"
The Mamas & the Papas, The Beach Boys, R.E.M., John Mayer, plus many, many others. Hell, I even like Queen Latifah's version.

Surprised nobody has said "All Along the Watchtower".

A deceptively simple song, but each cover seems to find a unique take on the material. I love the Dylan original and the Hendrix cover, of course... more recently, the Dave Matthews Band and (oddly enough) the new Battlestar Galactica do interesting covers...

It's one of those songs, when I hear about somebody doing a cover of it, I want to groan... because it feels like it has been done to death, and yet... I usually walk away pleased with the rendition.

Crimson and Clover by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Its a remake from Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.

Joan Jett did a great version of that one as well, if it's the same song, but I thought it was originally done by Tommy James and the Shondells.


I also love Shock The Monkey but not the original Peter Gabriel version, the version done by Coal Chamber with Ozzy. It just rocks! (as does Coal Chamber)


Metallica's One is also done well by Korn in concert.

God Save The Queen by both the Sex Pistols and Motorhead. Both versions rock but you can't ever beat the Sex Pistols!


Cinnamon Girl remake by Type O Negative is also good.

I seem to like the remakes more then the originals most of the time. Not sure why.

Actually, I believe it's the DEFINITIVE "cover" song....yet...not a big fan of
the actual song.

I don't know of a Simon and Garfunkel version of Crimson and Clover, but Tom Petty did cover the Tommy James and the Shondells song.

Cinnamon Girl remake by Type O Negative is also good.

Type O Negative did a cool cover of Seals & Croft's "Summer Breeze" too. The Isley Brothers also covered "Summer Breeze," but I'm actually not crazy about their version (mostly because of the part they added at the beginning). I like the Jason Mraz version of "Summer Breeze" pretty well, but I think I prefer the original to all of the covers on that one.

I'm a sucker for "Hurt" as well.

I really liked NIN's version. Then I heard Johnny Cash's version and I loved it. But you've just topped them all with Kermit's version. That is 100% awesome!
